It depends upon your objectives & time-horizons (short/mid/long)...
Many ("short-long") traders make profit out of market volatility .... optimizing trades as much as possible (using technical tools, aggregated knowledge, etc, etc).... "catching" market inefficiencies, wrong stops, etc., etc. So, the high vol - the high profit..... (long-term trend is not really "too important".... however, they certainly know trends and all long/mid-term constraints, info, news, advises, etc.)
Actually for (real) investors a short-term vol is not too important, (may be a bit "harmful" for the "mood".... and sometimes blood pressure.....)
